Wolf Intrigues by Isadora Montrose

“I’m not your boyfriend, I’m your bodyguard. That means I make the rules.”

Feisty BBW Avery resents being bossed around – even by a fake boyfriend. But it’s better than being blown up. If only dominant alpha male Sam Merritt wasn’t so good at unearthing her secrets and lighting her fire.
Artist Avery is the hereditary guardian of the hidden sea caves beneath her property. She’s single but not solitary. In her small town, she is surrounded by friends and neighbors. And of course she has her fox companions.
When Avery’s boat explodes, the shifter police, Special Paranormal All Ranks, send former Marine Sam Merritt to figure out who wants to kill this sassy vixen. SPAR fears her one-woman efforts to thwart drug runners and their product has put her squarely in the sights of the psi-mob, Vector.
Or maybe she’s an arsonist running an insurance scam? It’s Sam’s mission to find out.
Lone wolf Sam takes one look at curvy Avery and is smitten by this independent beauty. Now he is fighting his attraction to a female of the wrong kind. Any wolf who mates with a fox has zero chance of finding a pack to call his own. And yet he longs to bite her.
When protective Sam moves into Avery’s cottage, her nosy family and neighbors assume an engagement. Worse than that, suddenly her sea caves are no longer secret. How can she trust this red-hot stranger? Because this wolf could steal both her heart and her treasures.
